2014’s 8 Hottest Makeup Trends

Fashion trends change constantly. The hottest thing one week could quickly become old news the next. If you're getting whiplash by trying to keep up with all the different trends, don't worry. We have got you covered with the hottest makeup trends to hit 2014.

Orange Lips

Orange is bigger than ever this year. It’s the new coral. Contrary to popular belief orange does go with every skin tone; you just have to find the right shade. Dark and olive tones look best with bright and vibrant shades, whereas light and fair tones look best with peachy or red tints. When choosing your signature orange, stick to glossy and satin looks rather than matte.

Wings

Never ask a girl with winged eyeliner why she is late, especially since this trend has really taken off. This vintage-inspired look is super chic and feminine. If you’re not an artist with your makeup, don’t worry. There are tools and wands created specifically for the cat-eye look. Draw a thin and small wing for a simple, sweet look or go bold with a think and exaggerated wing.

Bold Brows

We’re so glad the horrid pencil eyebrows are officially a thing of the past. Thanks to Cara Delevingne big, bold, and beautiful eyebrows have taken over. Big eyebrows frame your eyes better, making them appear larger. If your brows aren’t naturally bold, try brow filler and highlighter for a less intense, but still dramatic look.

Au Naturale

Save money and cut back on your morning routine by trying a natural look, or no-makeup makeup. Kate Moss has popularized this look by hitting the red carpet with a minimal face. Try a bb-cream with a little concealer and setting powder. Dap on some cream blush and nude lip-gloss. Lastly quickly hit your lashed with light mascara. Voila, you have a fresh and flawless look.

Graphics

When you want to forgo the natural look and instead make a bold statement, get a little crazy with your eyeliner. Graphic eyeliner is hitting the runway and red carpet. Get a little creative while showing off your cool wild side with bold lines.

Poppin’ Pout

If you’re afraid to go orange, you can still make a statement with your lip color. Bold lips, no matter what the color, are totally in. If you want a girly and fun look go for a hot pink. If you want a classy look with a little bit of sass try a deep red. If you want to be bold try dark purple.

Golden Glow

You can achieve that “spent the day at the beach” look without hitting the harmful tanning beds. Bronzer is your new best friend for 2014. But please use in moderation so you don’t end up looking like an Oompa Loompa. Brush a little under your cheekbones and on the temples of your forehead. It’s a quick and painless way of getting a healthy glow.

Electrical Liner

Are you feeling fun and outgoing? Make your eyes pop with electric shades, like bright blue, purple, or green. The trick to not looking like a clown – less is more. Instead of swiping the color all over your lid, use it right above your eyeliner, or forgo the basic black and use your fun shade as the actual eyeliner.
